Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenue primarily from activities inIS Audit, Information Security Audit, Cyber Security Audit, ITAssurance & Compliance and IT Governance.
Revenue is recognised on the basis of services renderedto clients. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of controlof promised services to customers in an amount thatreflects the consideration they expect to receive inexchange for those services. Arrangement for servicesis either on a fixed price, fixed-timeframe or on a timebasis.
Use of the percentage-of-completion method requiresthe Company to determine the actual efforts or costsexpended to date as a proportion of the estimatedtotal efforts or costs to be incurred. Efforts or costsexpended have been used to measure progress towardscompletion as there is a direct relationship between inputand productivity. The estimation of total efforts or costsinvolves significant judgment and is assessed throughoutthe period of the contract to reflect any changes basedon the latest available information.
This estimate has a high inherent uncertainty and requiresconsideration of progress of the contract, efforts or costsincurred to-date and estimates of efforts or costs requiredto complete the remaining contract performanceobligations over the term of the contracts. This required ahigh degree of auditor judgment in evaluating the auditevidence and a higher extent of audit effort to evaluatethe reasonableness of the total estimated amount ofrevenue recognized on contracts.
Our audit procedures related to estimates of totalexpected costs or efforts to measure the completion ofcontracts included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of controls relating to therecording of efforts or costs incurred and estimationof efforts or costs required to complete the remainingcontract performance obligations.
• We selected a sample of contracts with customersmeasured using the percentage-of-completionmethod and performed the following:
• Verified the payment terms agreed with thecustomers based on the degree of completionof the contract, schedule of deliveries andachievement of different milestones.
• Relied on management's estimate of the progresstowards satisfying the performance obligation bycomparing actual efforts or costs incurred basedon representations submitted by them.
• Relied on the management's efficacy inmaintaining internal control over every contractcompletion method which as confirmed by themis different for each contract. We have also reliedon estimate for consistency with the status ofdelivery of milestones and customer acceptancesand sign off from customers to identify possibledelays in achieving milestones, which requirechanges in estimated costs or efforts to completethe remaining performance obligations.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of theStandalone Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuranceabout whether the standalone financial statements asa whole are free from material misstatement, whetherdue to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report thatincludes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a highlevel of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an auditconducted in accordance with SAs will always detect amaterial misstatement when it exists. Misstatements canarise from fraud or error and are considered material if,individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonablybe expected to influence the economic decisions ofusers taken on the basis of these standalone financialstatements.
As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exerciseprofessional judgment and maintain professionalskepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatementof the standalone financial statements, whether dueto fraud or error, design and perform audit proceduresresponsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidencethat is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basisfor our opinion. The risk of not detecting a materialmisstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, orthe override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevantto the audit in order to design audit procedures thatare appropriate in the circumstances. Under section143(3)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, we are alsoresponsible for expressing our opinion on whether thecompany has adequate internal financial controlssystem in place and the operating effectiveness ofsuch controls

Our conclusionsare based on the audit evidence obtained up to thedate of our auditor's report. However, future eventsor conditions may cause the Company to cease tocontinue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure andcontent of the standalone financial statements,including the disclosures, and whether thestandalone financial statements represent theunderlying transactions and events in a mannerthat achieves fair presentation.

We also provide those charged with governance witha statement that we have complied with relevantethical requirements regarding independence, andto communicate with them all relationships and othermatters that may reasonably be thought to bear onour independence, and where applicable, relatedsafeguards. From the matters communicated withthose charged with governance, we determine thosematters that were of most significance in the audit of thestandalone financial statements of the current periodand are therefore the key audit matters. We describethese matters in our auditor's report unless law orregulation precludes public disclosure about the matteror when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determinethat a matter should not be communicated in our reportbecause the adverse consequences of doing so wouldreasonably be expected to outweigh the public interestbenefits of such communication.
